“We are pleased to present important research of Epic and our partners that demonstrates how our clinical solutions help accelerate development of novel immuno-oncology drugs and other drug classes by optimizing patient selection and monitoring response to therapy,” said Katherine Atkinson, Chief Commercial Officer at Epic. “More than 65 biopharmaceutical partners are currently utilizing our non-invasive liquid biopsy assays leveraging digital pathology, machine learning and artificial intelligence to enrich their clinical trial populations and for biomarker validation. We look forward to sharing advancements on our functional cell profiling (FCP) technology platform and unique clinical insights it can generate with industry members and genitourinary oncologists at the symposium.”

Title: Morphology-predicted, large-scale transition (LST) number in circulating tumor cells (CTC) as a biomarker of chromosomal instability (CIN) to assess early resistance to standard of care (SOC) drugs in mCRPC

Summary: Circulating tumor cells in blood samples from patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer were characterized by Epic’s platform, demonstrating CTC morphology can be used as early detection of resistance to standard of care drugs.

About Epic Sciences Epic Sciences, Inc. is developing novel diagnostics to personalize and advance the treatment and management of cancer. Epic Sciences’ mission is to enable the rapid and non-invasive detection of genetic and molecular changes in cancer throughout a patient’s journey. The company was founded on a powerful platform to identify and characterize rare cells, including circulating tumor cells. Epic Sciences No Cell Left Behind® technology helps match patients to therapies and monitor for drug resistance, so that the best treatment path can be chosen at every clinical decision point. Epic Sciences has partnered with Genomic Health to commercialize the Oncotype DX AR-V7 Nucleus Detect test, which helps with therapeutic decisions between taxane chemotherapy or androgen-directed therapeutics in metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer. Today, we partner with leading pharmaceutical companies and major cancer centers around the world. Epic Sciences’ goal is to increase the success rate of cancer drugs in clinical trials and improve patient outcomes by providing physicians real-time information to guide treatment choices. Epic Sciences is headquartered in San Diego. Further information is available on the Company’s website, www.epicsciences.com. Stay in touch on LinkedIn or on Twitter @EpicSciences.
